mastodon meta (fairly important)
gargron is now on record as saying that the mastodon api is only for mastodon
https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/101489738840502100
what this basically means is that the mastodon ecosystem of apps, helpful tools, etc will only ever be reliably compatible with mastodon with the rest of us jumping through hoops to try to reverse engineer it
so, in summary, a community that is allegedly federated actually does have an avenue through which one platform can control it. just fact.
makes u think?

see @Gargron full reply, you'll note that the API is wide open for anyone to use - for Mastodon activity. Using it for Pleroma or in car entertainment or pig farming were not planned use cases and as such, things broke.https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/101489738840502100
@Gargron as a practical observation, you could have simply muted this conversation and moved on
it was not me that tagged you originally. i assume that you know this because you did remove the reply guy from your backhanded slap.
if you don't want to be tagged when the reply guys come after me then tell them that. do you understand? thanks!
